Happy Halloween,

Dressing up as a pumpkin this year, pretty boring but my little fella is terrifed of face paint and all things scary so I let him pick something for me that wouldn't scare him.

November 1st was The Druid's New Years.

The celebration would begin on October 31st ,and last into the following day.

The spirits of all who died in the prior year, would rise up and roam the earth on this night.

This is an evil night when spirits roamed the streets and villages.

Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to take them to the underworld.

 

All Hallows Eve
In Ireland, Halloween was called Hallow E'en.

Halloween evolved from "All Hollows" Eve.

It originated from the pagan holiday honoring the dead.

On All Hallows Eve, the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead was thin.

It allowed the souls of the dead  to come back to earth and walk among the living.

People would leave out food and candies  for the dead, in the hope that the evil spirits would leave them alone.

They would also carve out turnips and rutabagas, and place embers in them to ward off the evil spirits. 

 

The Roman Catholic Church created All Saints Day

(also called Hallomas)

on November 1st to honor Saints

and All Souls Day on November 2and to honor and pray for the souls of the dead.

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

We have no plans this year and we don't get kidlets up here, so it's a pretty quiet night for us. I might just watch some scary movies.

 

The amount of homework I have to do is also pretty terrifying, but that just sounds boring.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
